Southern New Ireland, Papua New Guinea A Biodiversity Assessment

Biologically, New Ireland is one of the least biologically studied regions of Papua New Guinea--its mountainous southern zone has long been considered both a high priority for biodiversity conservation and a major "scientific unknown." Conservation International agreed to organize a rapid assessment of the forests and wildlife of southern New Ireland. The purpose of the rapid assessment exercise was threefold: to assess the biodiversity of southern New Ireland, to field-test rapid-survey methodology in Papua New Guinea, and to share expertise and methodologies with staff scientists from Papua New Guinea's Department of Environment and Conservation.Beehler, Bruce M. is the author of 'Southern New Ireland, Papua New Guinea A Biodiversity Assessment' with ISBN 9781881173618 and ISBN 1881173615.
